The City of Summerville has construction underway on a 2,000-foot sewer line extension along Highland Avenue, a project designed to strengthen city infrastructure and support growth in the area.
City officials say the sewer expansion will improve service capacity for current customers and future development, helping reduce dependence on septic systems where city sewer access becomes available. The project is expected to deliver long-term benefits by improving sanitation reliability and positioning Summerville for continued residential and commercial needs.
Work crews will be active along portions of the route as the extension progresses. Drivers and nearby residents are encouraged to use caution around work zones and watch for any temporary access changes while construction continues.
